Now I figured out that probably due to the colon character, like
User:XXX, in the request. I am running my wiki on a windows machine.
Windows doesn't allow colon for naming files. This may explain the error
message. Now I wonder if there exists any patch either for apache or for
wiki to handle this issue.

Thanks,

Hi,

I finally managed to install mediawiki on my computer. It seems running
well. When I looked at the apache's error log, I found a lot of this
kind of messages

[Tue Apr 24 14:58:37 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (20024)The given
path misformatted or contained invalid characters: Cannot map GET
/wiki/index.php/User:XXX HTTP/1.1 to file, referer:
http://localhost/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

It looks like apache always tried to find page User:XXX but it is in
fact an argument of indexphp. My wiki seems to run well, though.

Should I change something in httpd.conf or php.ini to fix it?

Thanks,

-- Ming
